“…On the other hand, the replacement of Veneral Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test by a rapid immunochromatographic test (RIT) since 2014 in Treponema pallidum antibody screening could explain the rapid drop in the seroprevalence of syphilis. A reported low specificity of RPR in the same setting has underestimated the seroprevalence due to numerous false‐positive results related to other treponemal infections .…”
